"@MistaJeff: I can remember when Bioshock appeared here in Germany the PC Collectors Edition was 55€ and the Xbox Normal version was like 65€...
No joke and then they are wondering why people would rather buy a Pc title then the xbox one - especially if its a FPS...
But true it sucks bullocks to wait like month on the PC version..."
"The German game market is after the American the biggest in the world.
Many German Game developer only create titles for the german market (like this uber economy simulator games)where nobody else in the world is playing them but still this companies makes enough money to continuous this way.
Also because of this Germany is the only country in the world which has privileges to get special (cut) version of games (where blood is cut or like in Command & Conquer all humans are replaced by Robots) - its still profitable enough.
For example if a game doesn't meet the requirements in Australia the game doesn't show up there - but for Germany they gone create a new version at all."
"Dev kits are black - and a bit higher
Test kits are grey - but there are a bit highter too, you see a small attachment on the head - which you can not see here."
"From the marketing view it doesn't make any sense to announce now Diablo 3.
Wrath
StarCraft 2
Maybe Hydra
and then also Diablo 3.
Who should buy all this games..."
"To all console fanboys here.
If you want enjoying 100% of your XBox or your PS3 you have to buy a hd tv, which cost around ~1000€.
So
400€ XBox
+1000€ TV
--------
1400€
So not so much difference to the pc or?"
